1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2019

Hill descent control fault/ service advancetrac warning suddenly turned on. Alternated w service light. But I was just driving home from work on a 70 degree day on a dry paved road decelerating from a 40mph zone to a 30 mph zone up a slight incline. I wasn't using hill descent and traction was fine. The disturbing part was the vehicle suddenly ran rough and had no power. I could not get it to run well enough pull it over out of the traffic lane. An on off cycle returned function for a few seconds and I got around the corner before the fault occurred again. With no hills the last block I got to my driveway where a longer off period returned the vehicle to function. This type of sudden power loss could cause an accident.

3 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2016

2016 Ford F-150 XLT 2. 7l ecoboost automatic model with approximately 3,400 miles. Had already driven about 4-5 miles with engine already warmed up. Dry weather and about 69 degrees f outside. Came up to stop light with other vehicles ahead slowed down. Came to a complete stop and the auto-stop function engaged and the engine shut off. The roadway was fairly level. Waited approximately 20-30 seconds until light turned green. Traffic ahead started to move forward. I let off the brakes and the auto-start engaged. I continued to ease off brakes and allowed the truck to roll and idle forward with the flow of the vehicles ahead. I then applied my foot on the accelerator and began accelerating with the flow of the traffic. All of a sudden, the engine shuts off. At first I didn't realize it had shut off and was surprised that I wasn't able to accelerate anymore. Then I looked at instrument panel and saw that the speedometer was reading 17 mph and slowly dropping as the truck was just coasting along. My first thought was that maybe I had accidentally thrown it into neutral somehow, but the gear was still in "d" and applying gas did not move the tachometer as it had dropped to zero. Then I saw the battery symbol pop up. This is when I realized the engine had shut off during acceleration, possibly during gear shift sequence. At this point the vehicle is still rolling roughly 10 mph, so I engage it into neutral and crank the ignition and it starts up again. There is traffic behind me at this point so I change gear into "d" and am then able to accelerate normally up to proper speed. I could not recreate this again for the next 5-6 miles home, even with numerous stop lights where I would recreate the same auto-stop/start and accelerate actions.
